In-Tenta designed the DROP Eco-Hotel to provide a mobile dwelling for modern nomads. The prefabricated structure consists of a central tube capped on either end by big fully operable bubble windows that provide natural ventilation. The pod hotel is wrapped with a slotted wood facade that helps to mitigate heat, while a skylight running the entire length of the home provides ample daylighting. A rainwater recycling system harvests H2O for use within the building, further reducing its environmental impact.

The central interior corridor of the DROP Hotel features space for a bedroom and lounge area, while the bathroom and utilities are located in separate rooms set along the building’s sides. The pod hotel’s base is elevated above the earth to minimize its impact upon its site. In-Tenta‘s DROP Eco-Hotel won a design competition this year and will be featured as an available model in Urban Square‘s catalog of architecture projects.
